Men's Clothing, Size Conversion Chart

There is a wider range of sizes in men's clothing than in women's. Also, clothing for men is not sized according to age. It is, however, difficult for taller or bigger men to find clothes in Korea that fit. There are some Big/Tall shop that cater to Western clients and that offer clothing is Western sizes (clothing for export or imported from China). There are also many tailors offering to make made-to-measure men's suits. Some people who have left Korea continue to order suits and shirts from their favourite tailor.
